MEMORIES of Canvey can now be shared with the launch of the new community archive for the island.
The Canvey Community Archive will gather memories as well as keeping photographs and other documents that relate to the history of the island.
It was formed in partnership with Essex County Council Libraries, Essex Record Office and the East of England Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.
Canvey residents are being asked to share their memories and photographs and send them to www.canveyisland.org The site is fully interactive, enabling Canvey residents and any other people with links to the island to add their own stories, contributing to Canvey's heritage.
David Finch, Essex County Council's councillor responsible for libraries, said: "People have the opportunity to bring history to life."
